One-sided: Oichi/Hideyoshi

        Nene/Hideyoshi

Rating: T

Summary: The brighter the light shines, the darker the shadow becomes. When the light dims, the shadow protects the lights and tries to restore it.

Author’s Note: Merry Christmas! @liifesword. How did you know that I love to write for rare-pairs and the pair of Nene/Hanzo is beautiful. I’m sorry that I can’t draw so I hope this story works for you. I also took some elements from the Samurai Warriors franchise and combined it with Pokemon Conquest.

Disclaimer: I own no rights to the franchises mentioned. 

~~Story Begins~~

Ninjas were supposed to stay hidden in the shadows. Their names only known to their lords, but there were always those who did not fit the mold. The ninjas that do not blend in with the shadows, but filter into the light, those are the ninjas that are most dangerous when their emotions run high. If you bring upon a ninja’s personal wrath, the only thing I can advise, is to run out of town, but even then you might not make it out with your life.

-Excerpt from The Way of the Ninja by Motonari Mori

The only way Nene could be described was a candle with a flame that made shadows dance with her movements. The way she moved on the battlefield, spinning out of her enemies attack range while her Crobat swooped in for the finishing blow or a poison strike rivaled even the dances of Okuni on the stage or off the stage. 

Hanzo would deny it publicity, but he knew he was a coward when it came to Nene, even though it always seemed like he was scolding her and Kunoichi. He would use excuses to visit her kingdom of Viperina, ignoring the laughter of his Spiritomb and Gengar, ignoring the knowing looks that Ieyasu and Tadakatsu shared when Hanzo was gone.

He was content to watch Nene and her Crobat from his beloved spot in the shadows.

Until that monkey showed up.

Nene’s full focus centered on that monkey and his equally ridiculous monkey partner like it was the center of her world. She treated him like he was the sun when Hanzo knew that Nene could outrival the sun with personality. Even when the monkey’s attention was making Oichi jealous over his status as Nobunga’s right-hand man.

Oichi was unimpressed and neither was Nobunga, since Nene was the one who got him that position. Nobunga also gave the proper big brother speech and the face that Hideyoshi wore is one that Kotaro still looks back on as one of his fondest memories.

That didn’t stop Hideyoshi and his quest of gaining Oichi’s heart, even to the dismay of Nobunga, Oichi, and the warlord of Aurora, and he tried another way to make her jealous. He courted Nene in public which caused a lot of warlords to give warning advice (Kotaro’s promise of chaos hidden in his message from Ujiyasu to Nene was heard) if she needed Hideyoshi to be taken care of. Hanzo was one of the many ninjas who had to resist the temptation of hunting Hideyoshi when he started to chase after other females while Nene stayed loyal to him.

No one saw the light that is known as Nene begin to dim except for the one who protected her and watched from the shadows.

~~~

The first spring breeze fluttered through the newly reawakening leaves as the region enjoys its first spring with no bloodshed. The glow of the crescent moon illuminated the dark night and the lone female with golden armor and brown hair that stood on the balcony.

“Have you come to laugh at me as well?” Nene said as tiny bumps formed on her skin. A mixture of cool air from winter trying to keep its grasp on the region as the days grew warmer and the ominous feeling of being prey that always accompanies two ninjas from the shadows.

“…No,” Hanzo said as he stood beside his fellow ninja. His black and dark purple armor blending into the night, the only movement that was noticed in the night was the black hair tied out of his face. A simple illusion to think his enemies were being attacked from the corner of their eye, but their fate already sealed as the ninja was behind them.

They stood there in comfortable silence, a trait that calmed Nene so much during the war in Ransei. Her Crobat flew into the night, just as careless as her partner used to be and not the shell that she is now. His Gengar watched from the shadows just as vigilant as his own partner.

“He’s an idiot,” Hanzo said.

“Is the world ending after the war stops?” Nene said. “Kuniouchi said the same thing to me this morning. In fact, that was her alarm for me.”

“…”

“Everyone has been watching me, but you have kept an eye on me even beforehand. I always found it comforting and even now it’s been a big comfort. Especially since I know he’s in town right now, trying to outdrink Keiji and chatting up Okuni.”

“Okuni finds the monkey dull and boring,” Hanzo said. “The monkey is not work the pain. You are worth more than him with your Crobat alone, let alone your own ninja skills.”

“Hanzo…”

“We work in the shadows, Nene,” Hanzo said. “We can mask our emotions until the perfect moment arises for our revenge. His guard is never up, it is always down. Even when we were in war.”

The silence between them came back as they stared at the moon. The silhouette of a Crobat cawing out its sorrow of his mistress’s heart the only sound in the night.

“Hanzo.”

 A slight movement of his amethyst eyes let her know she had his attention. It was little movements that she had to look for when he interacted with the other lords to see how he treated them. It took awhile for her to realize she was one of the two lords who used body language to talk.

“Can I borrow your Gengar for a few nights?”

“…If you must.”

~~

Ninjas must always hide their emotions in case their enemies use it to their advantage. However, there are two sides to every tale, ninjas emotions can also be their most powerful weapon. Soon, the region of Ransei would know that the anger of Lady No or Lady Aya and their long feud over beauty did not make them the scariest woman in the region. For the anger that Lady Nene had shown made Lady No and Lady’s Aya child’s play in comparison.

-Excerpt from The Warlords of Ransei by Motonari Mori

~~

The older Warlords watched as Hideyoshi started to become paranoid. His two trusted officials, Kanbei and Hanbei, both had a knowing look, but refused to say anything. Kanbei has been the one to keep Ignis in order and with the help of Hanbei, Nobunga, and the warlord of Aurora, they were working on making a treaty to force Hideyoshi into giving up Ignis to Kanbei as he has been neglectful in his duties as a warlord.

When they finally found Hideyoshi, his Inferape told their pokemon about how his master has been haunted by nightmares and hallucinations. That it was just this morning, Hideyoshi had woke up to a blade being pressed against his neck by Lady Nene with Crobat’s fang dripping with a dark purple liquid right above the blade. What she said to Hideyoshi, Inferape did not know, but Hideyoshi had been rocking in the corner of a dark room for a majority of the day.

~~

“Hanzo, are you here to question me over Hideyoshi’s claim?” Nene said when she felt that familiar chill that no longer made her feel like prey (unless it came from the agent of chaos).

“I do not know of what you speak of,” Hanzo said with a slight glint in his eye that told her he was playing ignorant.

“Then what brings you here?”

“Lord Ieyasu has personally let me go from his services and I am in search of a new master,” Hanzo said.

“Do you wish to join me in Viperia?” Nene said.

“If I may be of service to you, Your Ladyship.” Hanzo said.

My friend absolutely loves milo! Gosh... they also really love piersmilo. Can we have some fluffy head canons for the two, please?

I’ve only had Milo for like 4 days but he’s already my second favourite Pokemon character of All Time right behind Ilima lmao, I love this strong doofy farm boy so much,,,,,,

Milo is a very, very, very physically affectionate guy, whereas Piers tends to lean away from even a quick shoulder pat. It took a lot of work to figure out what they were comfortable with doing. Their current system is Piers initiating any touches in public, and Milo gets to snuggle him all he wants in private.

This lead to Piers realising he’s an incredibly touched starved gay.

Piers likes being the little spoon but Milo’s an absolute furnace so Piers has to take the L during warmer weather and be the big spoon. Though he’s not gonna complain when he gets to cozy up to Milo’s muscular back.

Piers sings under his breath a lot, and Milo likes to hum a tune to go along with it. If Piers decides to turn it into a proper song later and give a private concert, that’s his and Milo’s business.

Milo attends every one of Piers’ concerts and gets the biggest, softest, lovesick smile on his face as he watches his boyf sing.

Milo’s a whole head taller than Piers which means Piers is at the perfect height to smoosh his face into his boyf’s pillowy man bosoms whenever he pleases.

Despite sunlight, physical labour, and sweating being three things Piers hates with his very being, he was convinced to help out Milo on the farm every now and then. Maybe he does it for the Wooloo, maybe he does it to watch Milo’s muscles as he carries four heavy ass haybales at once. We may never know.

Marnie accidentally stumbles into Piers one time and sees him wearing Milo’s jersey and just turns around and leaves before he can say anything.

Milo’s also essentially adopted Marnie as his sister, too. She did plan a little ‘hurt him and I’ll hurt you’ speech, but seeing as how fussy and protective they both are over each other, Marnie knows she doesn’t have to worry.

Piers’ Obstagoon is absolutely terrified of Milo’s many Wooloo, and Piers insists it’s because they all bully him.

;A; omg thank you 

[blue-firelight1234]

BEALLISTER FOR THE SHIP THING;;

I take it that’s Bea x Allister?

I’m gonna be honest with you.

I ship it platonically

I see their relationship as that of siblings

Bea being the overprotective big sis and Allister being the shy little bro

[thecupcakewritesmorethings]

[sinnyclair]

I also forgot to tell y'all to wish @liifesword a happy belated 15th birthday! Unless you're a time traveler and can go back to the 8th, lol

[incorrectlolquotes]

Your blog is sooo great!!! If it’s not too much to ask what are some of your ships? Right now all I have is lulu x veigar(your quotes for them are the best!) and I need some more haha

hello there!

since I started playing back in 2016 plenty of shippy stuff have passed through my radar. pretty much every popular ship at the time yknow garen x katarina janna x yasuo or lux x ezreal (then the star guardians event happened, ezreal got wiped and lightcannon is now one of my faves)

nowadays I mostly have crackships, like, poppy/tristana, tf/graves even swain/leblanc warwick/soraka, lee/sona, ashe/tryndamere, vi/cait and BIRB SUPREME xayah and rakan

but I would certainly say that lulu and veigar were my first ship. their dynamic is. too. damn. cute.

also remember when LaLaLaDemacia made me ship irelia and riven? yeah I remember that

[butchious]

Pantybrief aaaa

the only reason keeping it from getting a bingo is because i don’t read fics and because they don’t exactly feel like soulmates? it’s more of an opposites attract kinda thing lmao

seriously though why would anyone ship anything else in this show. like, one canon x canon ship has rights

[meowhawkk]

Hey do you like jjba?

unfortunately

[turffieldstadium]

Every time i come back to see how the blog’s doing I reconsider my life choices as I see yet another horny anon

I arrive once every 4 days to drop a request off and the rest of the time this blog is in shambles

🎭+ Alice in wonderland?

Oooh it's been a really long time since I've watched Alice in Wonderland, but I have fond memories of it!

I'd be Alice, of course :3 And I can imagine that throughout my journey I'd come across each of my f/os as different characters in the story!

• Discord as the Chesire Cat, cuz he totally speaks in riddles

• Either Bowser or Ganondorf as the Queen (King) of Hearts

• Dandy and Junkrat as the Mad Hatter and March Hare (which is gonna end up being FLIRT CENTRAL)

• I'm not quite sure which characters Skipper and McCree could be... Maybe the White Rabbit and the Caterpillar? Idk

Here's the twist of the au tho: instead of just messing with me throughout my journey, they'd all be trying to win my affection and following me around :3c

This is a lot better in my head I swear
